DREADFUL - I rented a proeperty for 18 months from Urban bases, being very open and accomandating I moved in without view the property as I was moving from abroad. The property was in a pretty bad state of repair but I was stasified enough as it was a essentially a my house for the working week. After a year 1 with full rent been paid on time and no service from Urban Bases I agreed to a rolling contract, I then asked to make the contract permanent for another 6 months, the landlord however decided to sell-up, so I gave notice as early as I could, I found about about the sellling of the house 1 day after rent day, I was told intially I would have to give 3 months notice, I queried this, then told I only had to give a full month, which given the helpful timing was 1 month and 3 and half weeks! So was out of pocket for 2 months rent. When I moved out I paid for professional cleaning - £150 including the needed carpets as it was dirtied during moving day... When it came to claiming my deposit back, the landlord has decided to keep my full £935 as he is getting the kitchen tops resurfaced and a new carpet put in! As mentioned the house was in pretty bad disrepair when I moved in. Thieves. I'm glad to see he can't sell a 2 bedroom house he is advertising as a 3 bedroom for around £100k over the asking price and the property is back on the rental market!
What agent could do to change your mind?
This must be a landlord centric organisation that has little regards for tennats only profit. Put your customers first and profit will come.
